Hazing Works!

[texas*princess]

Not sure if this will come out right, but ...

I think team-building activities can be great for pledge/new member classes and also for the entire chapter as a whole. By team-building activities I mean activities that generate positive feelings towards each other and the organization you are wanting to be a part of (or already are if you are an active member)

However, I feel that hazing is just plain wrong. What kind of hazing activites are we supposed to be talking about here (when you say hazing works)? When I hear "hazing" I automatically think of terrible things like yelling at the new members, making them do things they do not wish to participate in. When hazing like this occurs, sometimes the new members do not fully understand what they are going through and may believe it to be the "right thing to do" which causes a chain reaction because they will do it to the next new member class.. and so on and so on..
